Choosing Upvc Window Replacement Hinges

Egress/Easy Clean Hinge

These are a great choice for replacing or upgrading your fire escape safety windows as they open to a full 90 degree angle.

This will open both the bottom and top catches which will allow you to move the sash into the easy-cleaning position. Once in the easy-clean position, close the window to reset the hinges back to their original position.

Fire-Escape Hinge

Fire Escape Hinges are often referred to as "Easy Clean" hinges are used to replace side opening windows to allow escape (fire safety) reasons. These types of hinges open more wide and faster than standard hinges to allow an open space to escape in the event of a fire. The building regulations state that this kind of hinge should be placed in any space that is habitable and has windows.

They have an exclusive friction stopper that allows the window to open at an angle of 90 degrees. uPVC Window Hinge Repairs allows the opening sash to slide across when open to allow easy cleaning of the outside of the glass, without having to climb ladders. The hinges are simple to operate and do not have complicated buttons or catch mechanisms. They can be operated from inside of the home using a safe, simple lever.

To order these hinges simply measure the length of your existing side-hung window hinge which is fixed to the frame (see the article on measuring the length of your window hinges made of upvc). Choose the right size hinge from the list below.

Note that this measurement is taken at the part of the hinge that attaches to the frame, not the sash. The actual length of the hinge could be shorter or longer depending on the way your windows were originally made. When choosing the width of your hinge the majority of upvc windows can be fitted with a 13mm stack height but should your window frame is 17mm wide, you should select the option for this. Alternatively you can fit the 4mm packer to make up for the difference. All the hinges are supplied with two hands (1 left and 1 right). Screws are not included in the hinges. If required, these can be purchased separately. Our window repair screws made of upvc are recommended. These screws are designed to improve the performance of your hinges and allow them to work smoothly for longer. They have a lower friction design and an improved weather seal with a new nylon reducer cap.

Restricted Hinge

There are instances when a window needs to open fully and this can be a problem using a standard hinge. These restricted child safety friction hinges help to overcome this problem and offer a fantastic solution when ventilation is required but access to clean up or escape in the case of fire is not possible. They work by restricting the amount of sash that can open and allowing the override of this restriction with an option. They work with both side and top-hung windows and come in 13mm and 17mm stack heights.


The Nico Restricted Egress Friction Hinges combine the features of both a standard restrictor, and a pivot for fire escape to provide a simple but efficient method of complying with building regulations. It is suitable for both side hung and top opening uPVC windows and is available in 13mm and 17mm stack heights. It is supplied as a pair where one hinge is the restricted egress and the second is free, allowing one to be fitted at the bottom of the sash while the other is fitted to the top.

These uPVC restricting hinges have been tested to BS6375 Part 2. They are intended for use on a window that cannot be opened fully like a small children's bedroom. The mechanism limits the amount the sash can open to the safety level of 100mm and re-engages when the window is closed.

These uPVC hinges with friction can be used with any type of windows. They are particularly suitable for windows that are hard to reach, like those in three-storey houses or those which would require ladders. They can be combined with our range of security features like hinge guards and protection plates, or dog bolts to offer PAS 24 performance.

When replacing a window hinge it is essential to measure the length of the existing hinge so you can purchase replacements that are similar in size. This can be accomplished by looking through the image gallery of the hinge and deciding where you want it positioned. The hinges that hang from the top can only be put on one side, while the side hung hinges can only be positioned on one side.

Standard Hinge

Standard hinges feature metal-to-metal contacts and do not require any extra parts to reduce friction. It is available in a variety of finishes, and is fire-rated. To quickly determine the radius of hinges, lay it out flat and align a quarter and dime in two corners. If the dime fits better, the corner is rounded by 1/4 inch; if the quarter fit better, it's rounded to 5/8 inch.

The hinge you choose can enhance or ruin the appearance of your door. It's crucial to match the finish and style of your door to the hinges to create a seamless appearance that is both practical and visually attractive.
